Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Floor number designations are very confusing. The 1st floor label on the elevator is actually the rooms with 200 #. You get on the elevator, press the 2nd floor button, and the doors open to the 3rd floor. There is no 3rd floor button in the elevator. Very confusing. I ran into another couple that was as confused as me. The desk clerk tried to explain, but it still made no sense. It would be very difficult for 1st responders

Not clean, bed was so uncomfortable, linens were not clean, furniture (chair and ottoman) were dusty and outdated, could not look out windows because they were so dirty. Snacks sold at front desk were overpriced. The area for hotel is not well lit if you need to travel there in the evening. Cannot comment on staff because they were nowhere in sight. Unfortunately there are not enough hotels in the area, but I would rather travel further to a wellit area, and a place where I could sleep in a comfortable bed and with clean linens.
